“The organization does not have any authoritative committees, only a board of directors.”

“Hems has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. When the form 990 has been prepared and reviewed by the director of operations and executive director, it is electronically sent to the chairman, vice chairman and treasurer for review. Once reviewed, the return is then electronically sent to the rest of the board and reviewed at the next board meeting. Once the board has approved the return, it is filed with the internal revenue service.”

“The executive director regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy by communicating the policy to the organization's employees. The directors, officers and employees receive a copy of the conflict of interest policy and a statement regarding conflict of interests which must be signed by all directors, officers, and employees annually. If a conflict of interest arises the individual is recused from voting.”

“The compensation for the executive director was approved by the financial committee made up of the chairman, vice-chairman and treasurer. The decision to hire and compensate the executive director was approved by the board of directors and documented in september 2017. The treasurer provided an independent perspective concerning compensation/salary level based on being involved in the management of another not-for-profit organization. Hem's goal was to hire an experienced business manager to guide and direct the agency to build a sound financial base and internal operations for the agency. All the agency's assets and capabilities must be able to service the projected growth of 911 calls due to the increased number of urgent care facilities that have signed long-term leases in the town-village of harrison.”

“The organization's form 990 is available for public inspection as required under section 6104 of the internal revenue code. In addition, the financial statements, conflict of interest policy, form 990, form 1023, and by-laws are also available upon request.”
